JUDGE STRONG'S REVENUE DE
CISION. Judge Stkoxo yesterday delivered a decision
in the United States Circuit Court In the
case of the Philadelphia and Heading Kail
road vs. Barnes, collector of internal revenue,
et al, whioh settles a vexed question in a
manner that will be in an eminent degree
satisfactory not only to the stockholders of
railways but to all who have been annoyed by
the operations of a peculiarly vexatious law,
which has been made additionally irritating
by the arbitrary and partial decisions of the
present Commissioner of Internal lievenue.
The case brought before Judge Strong may
be briefly stated thus: On the 22d of Janu
ary, ISO!', the Philadelphia and Heading Kail-
road declared a dividend on their
capital stock as part of its earnings,
incomes, and gains made and accrued
between July 1st, 1800, and December 1st,
JiSi;'., and this dividend was declared pay
able on the 17th of January, 1870. When
the railroad company made its return to the
collector he made an assessment of five per
cent, upon the amount which was made pay
able ou March 31, 1870. The company did
not iav. and the collector made a distress for
tbe amount of the tax and five per cent.
additional, whereupon the company entered
suit for trespass.
The Jndgo takes the ground that there is
nothlna to warrant the belief that Congress
intended to impose a burden upon income
derived from one species of property greater
or longer continued than that imposed upon
income from other property, and the sections
of the law which provide for the deduction
of the income tax upon the dividends on
railroad stocks and other similar investments
do not, in his opinion, impose a distinct tax,
but ate only intended to secure the collection
of the tax imposed alike on all per
sons who have taxable incomes. In the case
under consideration the main question
turned upon whether a dividend declared De
cember 2'.', 1SG9, but declared to be payable
on January 17, 1870, was income of 1800 or
1870, according to the meaning of the act of
Congress. Judge Strong thinks very de.
cidedly that it was income for 1870, as it was
not available to the stockholders Until that
year, although it was earned by the company
in 180;. The Judge says: "The act speaks
of income derived from any kind of property,
etc. It seems to contemplate a tax upon in
comes received or receivable, something out
of which a tax can be paid. If it were not
80 the tax might be exacted for that whioh
never came and never could come into the
hands of the taxpayer." That this view of the
case is in accordance witn law as well as
common sense scarcely needs argument, and
there would have been no occasion for dis
pute if the Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue were not endowed with the unpleasant
faculty of creating difficulties of his own
with regard to the collection of the tax, which
are entirely supplementary to those created
by Congress. The decision of Judge Strong
in favor of the Philadelphia and Heading
Railroad will affect all the railroad companies
in the United States, and it must be a satis
faction to stockholders to know that the
question has been definitely decided by a com
petent court instead of being any longer left
to the caprice of an ecoentrio chief of bureau.
THE FRENCH NAVY.
'lax. worm Has oeen astoaisned at the com
plete and uninterrupted success of the Prus-
eians daring the present war, but the faot
that France should have found more than
her match and been overpowered by superior
numbers and outmanoeuvred by superior
generalship, is not so remarkable as the com
plete collapse of the entire military system of
the empire at the very first blow struck by
the enemy. Since Woerth and Weissenburg
French generalship has expended itself in at
tempting to save the shattered remnants of
one of the proudest armies that ever marched
out on an expected career of conquest, and
in frantic attempts to delay the advance
of the Germans upon the capital. At
every point failure has marked the
most gallant efforts, and one-half of the
army which was to have celebrated the Em
peror's fete in Berlin is shut up in Metz,
while the other, and the Emperor with it, has
surrendered, and .the Germans have com
menced the siege of Paris, which is defended
only by imperfectly armed and imperfectly
organized bodies of citizen-soldiers, who will
find themselves confronted with veterans
flushed with victory and led by some of the
best generals of the age.
The French navy, whioh was expected to
.play an imposing and important part in the
conquest of Prussia as the auxiliary of the
land forces, has proved as much a failure as
the army. Here, as in the army, nothing
appears to have been ready for prosecuting
an extensive war; the vessels have been found
to be entirely unsuited for the duties they
were expected to perform; they have not
been properly supplied with arms, ammuni-
liou, auJ other supplies necessary for carry
ing oa an aggressive warfare;they have not been
-fl-vitc4 lJf t
tbe result is that the blockade of the Prussiai
coast i3 about to be raised, and the fleet to
return inglcriously to Cherbourg for the pur
pose of aiding in the defense of that place.
Some of the circumstances to which the non-
suocesB of the French navy In the present
contest is due are we'l worthy of the con
sideration of the people of the United States
who, in case of a foreign war, will look to our
navy as the principal protection against in
vasion. The situation of the French blockading
fleet on the Prussian coast is described in
the cable despatch announcing its probable
return to Cherbourg as being in dangerous
water abounding in hidden reefs and thai-
lows. There are no friendly lights to give
warning in the night; no buoys to serve as
marks for guidance by day, while the fleet is
compelled constantly to guard against sur
prises by the enemy, while it is supplied with
small means for retaliation in open ports.
Fortresses could be attacked with but sma'l
prospect of success, as the heaviest iion-clads
draw twenty. three feet to twenty-eight feet of
water , with the exception of the Kocham
beau (the American built Dunderberg), which
combines a formidable armament with com
paratively little draught. There are no light
di aught gunboats for operation in the riverc,
anl no transports by which troops can be
landed.
In addition to the disabilities of the fleet
itself, the forts commanding the entrance to
the harbor are placed so high that it would be
almost impossible to elevate the guns so as to
effect enything, while the ships would be ex
posed to a destructive downward fire. Even
if they could escape this, they would encoun
ter torpedoes and other obstructions which
would prove serious embarrassments, at least.
It will thus be seen that the Prussians have
been able to effectually protect their coast
from attack, although their navy is insignifi
cant beside that of the French, and their suc
cess in doing this has not been altogether
due to the weakness of the enemy.
This statement of the naval situation is
particularly interesting to us, as our coast for
the greater part of its extent is not greatly
dissimilar from that of Prussia. From New
York to Texas our coast line is shallow, with
comparatively few harbors, and these diffi
cult of access in case the lights and buoys
should be removed. The manner in which
the Rebels baffled all attempts to reach
Charleston by the sea, and the desperate re
sistance they were able to mako at New Or
leans and Mobile, demonstrated how our ports
can be defended with a comparatively small
naval force, and such successes as the Gov
ernment forces did gain were largely due to
our facilities for building and equipping
vessels adapted for a peculiar kind of
service upon our own ground, and to
the fact that we had a large force of skilful
pilots who were able to show the way into
the harbors of the Southern coast in spite of
the removal of buoys and the obstructions
placed in the channels by the Rebels. What
we therefore need for defensive purposes is a
small but efficient fleet of iron-clads in eash
of our harbors, with forts and batteries suffi
ciently strong to hold an enemy in check,
even if they are not able to repulse him. The
French and English have both boasted greatly
of .the strength of their navies, and appre
hensions have been manifested lest we
should not be able to make any effective re
sistance to them in case of a war, but the
former of these powers has seen its fleet com
pletely baffled by the natural defenses of the
Prussian coast, and it is manifested that in
operating upon our more extended coast line
it would have even greater difficulties to con
tend with. Such a naval force, therefore, as
we ought to maintain for defensive purposes
need not entail any very heavy expense, but
it ought to be kept at the highest state of
efficiency, and with a reasonable degree of
skill and prudence in the management of the
Navy Department we may consider ourselves
as absolutely relieved from any fears of
foreign invasion.
OBITUARY.
Hon. John L, Dawion.
The Hon. John L. Dawson, who fdr many years
figured prominently in the politics of this State,
died after a brief illness on Sunday eventng last at
his residence, Friendship Hill, Fayette county. Mr.
Dawson was born in Unlontown, Fayette county, on
the 7th of February, 1813, and, after receiving his
education at Washington College, studied law and
engaged in the practice of that profession. Early in
life, however, he became interested iu
politics, beginning his public career as
a Democrat and remaining attached to that party
throughout, in 1845 President Polk appointed him
United StateB Attorney for the Western District of
Pennsylvania. ;iln 1850 he was elected a Representa
tive in congress from the Eighteenth district of this
State, and re-elected in 1SS2, the number of his dis
trict being changed, by a reapportionment, to the
Twentieth. In 1S62, and again in 1S04, he was
elected to Congress, this time to represent the
Twenty-flrat district under the present apportion
ruent. During his last period of service he was a
member ot the Committees on Foreign Affairs
and on Public Lands. During his second
term, he was the author of tbe Homestead bill
which became a law in 1851. At the close of his first
period of Congressional service, he was offered, In
1865, the Governorship of the Territory of Kansas
by President Pierce, but had the wisdom to decline
such a perilous position. Having been succes
sively a member of the National Democratic Con
ventions of 1844 and 1843, he was a delegate also to
those of 1350 and I860, and in the convention of
1856, which met at Cincinnati, he was selected by
the Pennsylvania delegation to acknowledge fit
tingly the compliment paid to this State by the nomi.
nation of James Buchanan for the Presidency.
Mr. Dawson was a member of the House of Repre
eentatives during the greater portion of the war
against the Rebellion, and was, throughout this
critical period, a strict Democrat. On the 18th of
January, 1864, he offered a preamble and resolution
which clearly set forth his views on the pending
straggle. In the preamble Mr. Dawson declared
that "the advancing armies of the Government
should carry the Constitution In one band while
they held the sword la tbe other, so tlat tbe la.
vaded party might have its choice between tbe
two;" and In the accompanying resolution he de
sired the .President to proclaim "that whenever
any Bute now in insurrection shall sub
mit to the authority of the Federal Gov
ernment, as defined In the Constitution, all boa.
t nines against her shall cease, and such State shall
be protected from all external interference with the
local laws and Institutions, and ber people shall be
guaranteed in the full enjoyment of all those rights
which the Federal Constitution gave them." Thl
preamble aad resolution were laid on tbe table, oa
motion of Thaddeas Stevens, by a vote of 79 to W, In
which the party lines were strictly marked. Again,
on February 13, 168. Mr. Dawson made another
effort in behalf of peace while Rebellion was still
rampant, offering a resolution of similar purport to
the above, which was tabled by a vote of 73 to 4T
Mt. Dawson was gifted with more than ordinary
ability, and in the western part of the State was
acknowledged to be a representative man of tils
farty.
TUE CORLISS NAVAL ENGINE CON
TRA CT.
We some weeks ago published in onr Washington
correspondence a statement of certain charges
brought against Chief Engineer King, Engineer In
Chief of the Navy, by Vice-Admiral Porter and W.
H. Alljn, the late Chief Clerk of the Bureau of Steam
Engineering, in which it was alleged that Chief En
gineer King had improperly favored the Corliss
Steam Engine Company in the settlement of their
contract with the Government for building certain
marine engines. The following letter, which was
addressed to the committee on Retrenchment of
Congress when it had the matter under considera
tion last summer, is a plain intimation that
at least one member of the committee was not In a
position to decide impartially in a controversy in
which Mr. Corliss was a chief party. The letter will
explain itself, and If Mr. Jenckes is innocent of the
charges brought against him, he owes it to himself,
his constituents, and the country, to make the fact
plainly manifest:
Providence, r. I. .Hon M. Welker, Chairman of
the Committee on Retrenchment Dear Sir: The
claim of the Corliss Steam Engine Co. for work done
in the construction of steam engines for the Navy
Department, amounting to raw.uuo. Deinsr oerore tne
committee of which yui are chairman for investiga
tion, I desire to draw your attention to the fact that
lion. Thomas A. Jenckes, a member of your com
mittee, has bten at different times paid by George
H. Corliss, or tne coriiss steam Engine co , tne sum
of 113,824.04, for professional services connected
with the letters patent for improvements In steam
engines, recently refused extension by congress.
in my opinioD, mo ciose professional relations
which Mr. Jenckes lias sustained to Mr. Corliss,
and to the Corliss Steam Engine Company, unfit him
to act Impartially in the matter now under investi
gation by jour committee, and my hope has been
that Mr. Jenckes would be 8f nsili'e of the impro
priety himself of continuing to act upon the sub
ject. l do not round my omection to Air. .lencKes soieiy
upon the fact that he has been professionally con
nected witn hit, uoniBs, oui l nave recently neen
made distinctly aware of the prejudice which he
feels in favor of Corliss In reference to the pending
claim of the Corliss Steam Engine Company.
ontnesitn or June-last, while testimony was
being taken before the committee, it was plainly in
timated to me by him that unless I withdrew my
opposition to the payment of the claim of the Cor
liss Steam Engine Company, I could not, expect
my application for the appointment of Collector of
the Port of Providence to be favorably considered
by him. I had previously had a direct assurance
from him of the appointment, but upon ray declining
to withdraw my orpnsition, I found that he executed
tits threat, ana gave nis influence or another.
1 t.rant. that von will, na'clmlrman nf thA commit
tee, nse your influence to make Mr. Jenckes aware
that every consideration of propriety demands that
he should withdraw rrom tne committee wnue tne
subject of the propriety of paying the claims of the
Corliss Steam Engine Company is under conside
ration.
I am your obedient seivant,
Jossrn P. Manton.
